LEWISTON, N.Y. -- Maryland coach Brenda Frese and her sixth-ranked Terrapins found a nice way to cap their weekend getaway to upstate New York.Freshman point guard Destiny Slocum had career highs with 25 points and seven assists as Maryland cruised to a 96-64 victory over Niagara on Sunday. The Terrapins scored on seven of their first eight possessions and forced five turnovers in opening the game on a 16-2 run. They led 58-32 at halftime.It was really important that the five of us who started came out and set the tone, Slocum said. That was our mindset, that we needed to start strong.Frese had accompanied All-American honorable mention Shatori Walker-Kimbrough to the Pan-American Games in Toronto last summer and took the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. She wondered, Why havent we ever taken our team up here? That led to Maryland scheduling its first game at Niagara, and the team visited the namesake falls on Saturday.It was sensational, Frese said.So were the Terrapins. Brionna Jones and Walker-Kimbrough each chipped in 16 points for Maryland, which failed to score 100 points for the first time this season. Still, the Terrapins were efficient on offense, shooting 53.7 percent while making a season-high 11 3-pointers on 26 attempts (42.3 percent). They assisted on 26 of 36 field goals. It was their second straight game with 26 assists.Not completely satisfied, but I thought we were very unselfish, Frese said. We let the game come to us.Maryland held Niagara to 37.3 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers that turned into 24 points.Niagaras 64 points were the most allowed by a Maryland opponent this season. Victoria Rampado led the Purple Eagles (1-3) with 24 points and five rebounds.Their point guard is one of the best freshmen Ive seen in 20 years of basketball, Niagara coach Jada Pierce said of Slocum.BIG PICTUREAfter winning their first three home games by an average of 55 points, the Terrapins rolled to another blowout win in their road opener. Maryland went 17-2 in road/neutral games last season.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Terrapins havent done anything to merit dropping out of the top 10 for the first time since Jan. 12, 2015. They could move up a spot after No. 2 Baylor lost at No. 3 Connecticut, but voters may not penalize the Bears for losing on the road to the four-time defending NCAA champion. Maryland has not played a ranked team yet.FRESH TALENTMore than half of Marylands points (49) came from its top-rated recruiting class. Slocum did the most damage, but fellow McDonalds All-Americans Kaila Charles (nine points), Sarah Myers (five), Stephanie Jones (four), Jenna Staiti (four) and Blair Watson (two) all contributed in their first college road game. Charles had seven of Marylands first 11 points.MILESTONEBrionna Jones passed Belinda Pearman and moved into 25th on the Terrapins all-time scoring list with 1,286 career points. Jones made 7 of 9 shots, bringing her career field goal percentage up to 63.2 percent. The Big Ten record is 60.8 percent set by Purdues Camille Cooper from 1997-2001.UP NEXTMaryland continues its four-game road trip at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas, playing its first ranked opponent, No. 18 Arizona State, on Friday, and Washington State on Saturday.

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.Philadelphia Eagles have signed Pro Bowl safety Malcolm Jenkins to a five-year contract extension. Jenkins was about to enter the final season of a three-year, $15m (£10.6m) deal he signed as a free agent in 2014 but is now signed with the Eagles through 2020. According to ESPN, Jenkins new deal includes $35m (£24.8) in new money and he will get $21m (£14.9) guaranteed. His salary cap hit for 2016, which would have been $7.1m (£5m) under his old contract, will drop to $5.6m (£4m).Jenkins new contract is the fifth multi-year deal signed by Eagles in recent weeks, as Jenkins joins tight ends Zach Ertz and Brent Celek, tackle Lane Johnson and defensive end Vinny Curry. Johnson signs new Eagles deal Lane Johnson signs six-year extension with Philadelphia Eagles I reached out to my agent at the end of the season, a few weeks back, and just really expressed to him that Philly is a team that I really want to be on for the long run, Jenkins said during a press conference on Monday.Obviously, I had one more year left before facing free agency and a lot of unknown. I told him that if the feeling was mutual, thhat Id love to do something long term.dddddddddddd It went from there, and obviously Mr (Jeffrey) Lurie, Howie (Roseman) and Doug (Pederson) really felt like they started to build around players that they had already in the building.You saw some of the other guys already got extended, so it felt good to me to know that I was on that list of players that they felt they could start to build around to win a championship, and like I said that feeling was mutual and Im really looking forward to the opportunity. The Philadelphia Eagles have locked up tight end Zach Ertz through 2021 The 28-year-old has been one of the more consistent performers on a defence that often struggled under former coach Chip Kelly. Over the past two seasons, Jenkins led the Eagles in tackles (233), passes defended (29) and interceptions (five).Jenkins made the Pro Bowl in 2015 even though the other three starters in Philadelphias defensive backfield were new. He had 120 tackles last season.Malcolm has proven himself as a leader on and off the field, said Executive Vice President of Football Operations Howie Roseman. We are excited to have him on the team moving forward. ' ' '
